PRESS RELEASE
LISA GERRARD & JULES
MAXWELL present first single
“Noyalain (Burn)” from
upcoming studio album “Burn”
Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell, best
known for their work as part of the
legendary band Dead Can Dance,
present “Noyalain (Burn)”, the first
single from their forthcoming studio
album “Burn”. Produced by James
Chapman (MAPS), the long-play will
be released on May 7 via Atlantic
Curve, a London-based label that is
part of the Schubert Music Europe.
“Noyalain” is a song of welcome. An
invitation to walk in peace, unlock the
passive passion within, engage in the
diversity of life and celebrate,” says
Lisa Gerrard.
“It is with great pleasure that I share this
collaboration with Jules Maxwell. Jules
and I began our creative journey with
Dead Can Dance. We realized that we
could connect through improvisation
and that musical exploration continues
to evolve with this present work.”
Under this new guise, Gerrard and
Maxwell have created an album that
presents a wonderfully diverse mix
of electronica, alternative, cinematic
soundscape and world music with
hints of early Vangelis.
The record began its journey more
than seven years ago when Lisa met
Irish theatre composer Jules Maxwell
before working together for the first
time. Things really took root when
Gerrard and Maxwell began writing
songs for their earlier collaboration
“The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices
(Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares)”. They
were later introduced to Chapman
and asked him to produce this album,
